Based on this discussion <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/pyqt@riverbankcomputing.com/msg19856.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/pyqt@riverbankcomputing.com/msg19856.html</a> with the help of my friend i found another thing that might be the cause for this problem.. <br>
<br>When i give $python on the terminal it invokes the default python 2.6 as we all know..<br>Here sys.maxsize gives the value as 9223372036854775807 <br><br>while giving $python3 on the terminal (invokes python 3 installation) gives the value as 2147483647.<br>
<br>So one thing that is clear is that the default installation uses 64-bit and python 3 uses 32-bit. <br><br>My question is even though i gave --arch i386 (which is clearly for 32-bit) in SIP and PyQT configure as mentioned in the trolltech's official doc <a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#configuring-sip-and-pyqt-for-macos-10-6-snow-leopard">http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#configuring-sip-and-pyqt-for-macos-10-6-snow-leopard</a> why it's not giving this error.. <br>
<br> The error also seems like some kind of syntax error in the usage of SIP. Do i need to modify PyQt installation scripts? <br><br>Need your help regarding this..<br><br>Thanks in advance.. <br><br>Regards,<br>Jeba.<br>
